Huckleberries Online will be rolling again tomorrow morning when I return from an 11-day vacation. You’ll want to be here to talk about that change in the SR that’s coming to your doorstep Monday. Also, it sounds as though plans are under way for a shindig at Taryn’s place in Spirit Lake to welcome in the summer that will feature Bent’s brew and Herb’s potato salad. Dunno if it has a name yet. But it should be fun, for card-carrying Hucksters. With the beautiful weather and Wild Card-only days this weekend, things have been slow here. But that’s change at 8 Monday morning. Now, for your last vacation Wild Card …

This from a Popkey article in today’s Satesman:

Nonini’s temper got the better of him at least twice this year, once with Otter and another time with Little. That prompted a new Statehouse shorthand for such outbursts, “Going Nonini.”

Mel -

I hope this latest surgery turns out alright for you. Please don’t go to that dark place from last year and know that you are loved by all your merry hucksters here at Dingleberries.

Perhaps it might do you well to just move to the states and live. :-) I know that ole Herb has been looking for a lady for awhile. :-)

Take care - I need to put pen to paper to you as well - I have ample things to write about since I’ve been so busy.

Hugs-
Digger & Spazz

We all wish you the best Marmite, especially me. You have been a great friend and one that I feel very close to. I hope everything in your life works out for the best, your family is behind you. As for moving in with Herb, I would pass on that one, You need family around and ones that love you, simple.

Taryn A Hecker Photography & Bent’s Beer Garden’s Inaugural Summer Cookoff! 3-8 p.m. Saturday, June 20 at 32539 N. 4th, Spirit Lake. Promises to be a good time. Bent is signing up folks for the BBQ cookoff. Several folks are bringing side dishes, including Herb with his infamous potato salad. It’s a family-friendly affair. I don’t get to socialize much out here in Spirit Lake, so I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone.
